Diggory

[Poppetts1234]

I love it husband hates it
I think it’s cool- digs for short

The name Diggory is a boy's name of French origin meaning "Lost one".
It used to be a name used in Cornwall a long time a go.

What do you think?

@SomethingNastyInTheBallPool

Ten gorillas. Sorry.

??

It does make me think immediately of Cedric.

Dickon was the boy in The Secret Garden. Not sure I’ve spelt it correctly though.

Ah, you're right. Well, I wouldn't call a child that!

@Poppetts1234 As a PP pointed out, Diggory sounds like “10 gorillas” if you’re French. Dix gorilles.

Digby better than Diggory!

No diggory (I've got to bag it up)

It wouldn't be my favourite for a boy, definitely. But there are worse. I once had a brief acquaintance with a woman who named her boy Sprout.

Hate it, sorry. Doesn’t help that the only one I’ve ever known was obnoxious. And his mother was the archetypal pretentious MC private school parent.

Love it.
Magician's nephew as said.

Had a pal whose nickname was digs - always thought it was cool

Oh I love it. The Magician's Nephew was my favourite of the Narnia books.

And @ProperVexed those are great names. May I add Sholto?

I'm another who knows it through Narnia and likes it. I like the suggestion of "Digs" too. I have met one and he did not shorten it.

When my sister was pregnant, she called the bump Diggory.
We got so used to the name, if it had been a boy and she had used it, it would have sounded normal. But she had a girl.

Digby is nice.

I love it, surprised at all the negative responses.

I really don’t like it. But then I do tend to like more versatile ‘plain’ names so maybe just a taste issue. I wouldn’t personally like to be called Diggory.

My cat is called diggory as I'm a potter fan
We called him diggy for short

For a boy. I'm not sure. I don't hate it but I would think of poor Cedric.

I don’t mind it, prefer Digby though.

I really dislike Mungo.

What else do you like?

Cedric

I don't like it, sorry OP.

Digby?

God, no. Sorry

Oooh I love it!

Really awful name , sorry!

I immediately has image of kids in playground singing at him: dickory diggory dock. the mouse went up the clock etc etc. May be even diggory diggory dork.
But may be am over thinking it. It's a no for me anyhow
